France is (by far) the world leader when it comes to the fraction of nuclear-produced electricity and always produces around 9% of its electricity thanks to fossil fuel, because building enough reactors to satisfy peaks and to load-follow would be way too expensive (as most would be idling most of the time). 9% of a year is approximately 33 days, therefore we know how to cope with a Dunkelflaut. https://www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/edition-numerique/chiffres-cles-energie-2021/15-electricite https://www.statistiques.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/editi... Moreover a continental mix (wind, solar, geothermal...) reduces intermittency.

Moreover modern gas turbines are able to burn (up to 100% of) hydrogen, therefore feeding them green hydrogen (obtained during over-production periods) will lower emissions. https://global.kawasaki.com/news_211209-2e.pdf https://global.kawasaki.com/news_211209-2e.pdf https://www.get-h2.de/en/project-lingen/ https://www.get-h2.de/en/project-lingen/ Moreover storage has many gorillas in the room, mainly V2G https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle-to-grid
